A favorite in the 1990s, the Three Fires Coloring Books were a series of 5 coloring books produced by Kelly Sowmick and Steven Sowmick. Now, 30 years later, their daughter has brought these once-lost books together again in a single volume for a new generation to enjoy.

This is much more than a coloring book for children. The Three Fires Coloring Book contains over 1,000 translations of everyday objects in Anishinaabemowin, the Central Algonquin language of the Ojibwe, Odawa and Pottawatomi, helping introduce young learners to the language while contributing to its preservation for future generations.

Throughout the book, children can color while discovering Native American quotes, cultural information, and facts about the Three Fires Tribes of the Great Lakes area—the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Pottawatomi. Everyday objects are labeled with their translations, allowing language learning to become a natural part of each activity.

An indexed collection of translations and pronunciation tips provides an additional reference for children, parents, and educators. Designed to be both educational and enjoyable, the Three Fires Coloring Book offers a hands-on way to explore language, culture, and the rich heritage of the Three Fires Confederacy.
